Castle Fun Park, Mandurah, Western Australia
A stone's throw from the coastal city of Mandurah lies Castle Fun Park, a wholesome family amusement park that was completed in 1979. The family-friendly site would attract travellers en route to Perth with its fairy-tale European-style castle, playground and swimming pool in the shape of Australia. Sadly, though, the stream of visitors began to dry up and the park closed in the early 2000s. A bushfire ravaged the site's remnants so now all that still stands is the turreted castle surrounded by trees and covered in graffiti.
